Happy 50th for the landing on the moon!!!
We spent our Personal Day taking care of some boarding issues and boarding inspections. We started by picking up two lounge chairs at the shed and taking one to Tableview and one to Milnerton. We sprayed the Mold Buster on the walls and ceiling at the Tableview boarding and repaired a bad hinge on one of the kitchen cabinet doors. We had trouble taking the legs off the old lounge chair at the Milnerton boarding and trying to put them on the new chair we brought. So we improvised. We picked up a lot of "junk" from the Milnerton boarding that they are trying to clear out. We dropped all this stuff off at the office and loaded up the new washing machine to take to the Brackenfell boarding. We took the Firth's with us to show them the two new boarding's they will be managing. We installed the new washing machine in Brackenfell and also a new shower head. We looked at their car that had both windows broken into. We then went to Paarl and installed some curtains in the bathroom windows. They still need to clean up the back yard. But otherwise it was in good shape. We finally stopped for dinner at Liugi's around 3:00 pm and had a great dinner. Service was slow but the food was great. Sister Courtright had a chicken cordon bleu and Elder Courtright had a fillet with rosemary and tyme. We finally arrived back at the office around 7:00 to unload the old washing machine and head home for the evening.
Another full day. We realized that boarding maintenance is a never-ending story.
More boarding clean up items...it never ends!

Cape Town Mission Field   28 October 2019   Day 687 Monday Count Up => +1 We have now started our personal tour of South Africa, this is Day 1. We headed for the Cape of Good Hope today knowing it was going to be raining off and on. This is a trip that you spend a lot of time in the car and we were hoping for sunny breaks when we got out to see things. We asked Martha to come along and she was excited to do so. We first stopped at Simon's Town to see the penguins. We were practically the first on the beach. We met Sean Robertson from Idaho but grew up in Salt Lake around 45th South and Redwood Road. He has traveled the world (52 countries) working mostly on ships as a repair diver and inspector. We left just as it started to rain. We then went down to the Cape of Good Hope and the sun was out so we hiked up to the lighthouse and had some great weather. We also drove down to the beach and took some photos there too. We then went to Scarborough for lunch then u...

Cape Town Mission Field       25 September 2018     Day 290 Tuesday Today was a quiet day around the office and we did make a Makro run for missionary supplies. Most of the day was spent catching up on emails and orders and baptisms and car issues. The Mandalay elders took their car in for service and we picked it up for them in the afternoon. There are some pretty white flowers blooming in the corner of the lot that I took a picture of.

Cape Town Mission Field       10 September 2018     Day 275 Monday This was a 'real' Monday. We got a call from the Fish Hoek elders informing us that they lost their phone. The Gugulethu elders hit a pot hole last night and got a flat and drove on it to the chapel because they were driving on their spare, due to a flat tire from Saturday. The zone leaders couldn't help them because their spare was flat. The Elsie River elders lent them their spare but driving home to their flat the car was driving funny. And this all took place before 8:00 am. Later this morning the Knysna elders phoned and indicated that they were driving to George and got a flat but their wrench doesn't fit the lug nuts. I had them call AIG tow truck to assist. The Zone Leaders (Elder Stevens) was particularly helpful in taking responsibility for picking up all the bad spare tires and taking them in to the shop for replacement or repair. That was really kind of him to do that, particul...
